Description
Waterway Executive 56-Frame Two-Speed Hot Tub Pump Specifications
This product features a genuine Waterway Executive dual-speed circulation pump rated at 230V with 8.0 Amp draw, featuring 2" x 2" plumbing connections and a 56-frame motor design.
Important Amperage Information
Critical: Verify the amperage rating on your existing motor label to ensure proper replacement. Many motor labels display inflated horsepower ratings. The actual HP is determined by amperage, not the label designation. This unit draws 8.0 Amps, which corresponds to true 1 HP output according to industry standards:
- 8.0 Amps = 1 HP
- 10.0 Amps = 2 HP
- 12.0 Amps = 3 HP
- 14.0 Amps = 4 HP
- 16.0 Amps = 5 HP
For dual-speed models, locate both amperage values on the motor nameplate (example format: 10.0/3.5). The higher number indicates high-speed amperage. Single-speed units display one amperage value only.
Versatile Executive Wet End Configuration
The Executive wet end assembly offers exceptional installation flexibility with adjustable discharge positioning. Rotate the wet end to align ports at 12, 3, 6, or 9 o'clock positions to match your spa's plumbing layout. Additionally, an optional bleeder valve fitting can be installed if your previous pump configuration included this feature—particularly useful when original bleeder components break during removal.
